St. Clare, Virgin.
St. Clare of Assisi, who renounced wealth and rank to embrace the religious state was remarkable for her love of poverty and her devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. She became, under the direction of St. Francis of Assisi, the founder of a very strict religious Order, the members of which practised the most rigorous austerities. She died in her sixtieth year, A.D. 1253.
